Good point. Damn. It’s like I have two sugar daddies.

[goldtoxicity]

now IM the responsible one

[helpdesk_hero]

You might be. I’m the one that ran away with their not-boyfriend for a while.
Though in my defense I have maintained my freelance work with the various teams.
And picked up a new power.

[goldtoxicity]

and you did???

[helpdesk_hero]

Psychometry. Because why should I get to touch things.

[goldtoxicity]

[ he should say something serious, because this is serious and the apocalypse is happening and everything sucks

but. ]

oh my god you could be a real tv psychic

Autocorrect turned items into Ireland originally.

[helpdesk_hero]

[FUCK serious.]

Antique dealer is what the Psy teaching me advises. Could make money verifying providence of items.

[goldtoxicity]

Re: oh my god

[helpdesk_hero]

First Bart wants to turn me into a streaming gaming personality and online chef and now you want me to make antiques road show?
What even is my life?

[goldtoxicity]

yes
why do you not understand that people want you on tv

[helpdesk_hero]

Because no one wants to see me on TV, Josh.

[goldtoxicity]

i want to see you on tv and im the only one who matters

[helpdesk_hero]

Why would you want to see me on TV? I don’t even have a personality good for TV. People wouldn’t want to look at me on their screens.

[goldtoxicity]

1. yes they would youre attractive and this is coming from a literal biological expert
2. dude youd look directly into the camera any time someone said or did something stupid and thats the quality content we need

[helpdesk_hero]

You want me on TV for the sole purpose of the ‘Office Camera Look’ value? Wtf man?

[goldtoxicity]

youre also smart and know things and explain them well

[helpdesk_hero]

I don’t know antiques. Not really.

[goldtoxicity]

buuuuuuut
you could read objects and talk about their history

[helpdesk_hero]

That I can do. Far too well. Note to self, a newer construction for the house. Less history that way.

[goldtoxicity]

ok well im getting ready to leave now
dont think this topic is done were definitely going to revisit this
also
i owe you a birthday party
which we better do just in case the world ends

[helpdesk_hero]

Fine. Revisit to your heart’s content.
And I already celebrated my birthday. I can tell you about some of it while we’re getting coffee. See you in ten.

[goldtoxicity]

wow without me??
and dont tink i wont

[ but he's there. at their usual table - liteally their usual table from highschool, still so weird. he looks - well he's back to wearing his ratty hoodie with the hood pulled up and he looks... well, really tired and uneasy. he can safely meme from behind a phone screen but in person he's a lot less chipper. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

I’ll tell you when we meet.

[He shows up in his own time, clothes crisp, gloves on, a new set of gloves identical to the ruined ones from the night he almost died already on his hands. David’s apparently got a ready supply of them. He orders a large drink and moves to sit by Josh.]

Where would I even get funding for a TV show?

[He is trying to keep it light.]

[goldtoxicity]

I'm pretty sure if you say "hi I'm an imPort and I want to do a thing" people will throw money at you.

[ he peels his hood back, canting his head and offering a lopsided smile. ]

This place kinda takes all the shit that'd stop you from being anybody at home and turns it into a positive, remember?

[helpdesk_hero]

It's so weird that it could be that easy.

[There we go. Not a real good smile, but still a smile. And that's what David needs.]

Are you suggesting that this world wouldn't discriminate against a queer black man?
